with legendary classical producers such as Max Wilcox and Peter Munves,
legendary audio archivist Mike Biel speaking about the discovery of the
recording of Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds that we rely upon to this day,
Peter Gries speaking about the practice of archiving audio from early
television broadcasts, Matt Barton from the Library of Congress speaking
about Marian Anderson’s legendary 1939 concert at the Lincoln Memorial,
Brad McCoy on the new Library of Congress NAVCC facility in Culpepper, VA,
Mike Devecka on the behind-the-scenes story of the First Sounds project,
Seth Winner on Rene Snepvangers, Dennis Rooney on Artur Rodzinski, Gary
Thalheimer on the recordings of the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, Marcos
Sueiro Bal on Columbia University’s audio archive survey tool, Tim Hawkins
on the Naropa Poetry Archive, and Steve Rosenthal on the Woody Guthrie

Our program on Thursday, November 19th will be interesting, as most of them
are, and is being finalized tonight.
